**Udayagiri Hill.** :— Udayagiri, as already stated, forms the easternmost protuberance of the belt. It is of an irregular shape, the extreme measurements being 1300 feet by 1200. It is generally well-wooded, but in some parts bare. Its highest point measures 110 feet from the level of the surrounding country. Its substance like that of the other hills of the group, is sandstone, tilted to an incline of about 40 degrees. It was surveyed at my request by Mr. H. Beck, a professional Engineer, in 1873, and his plan of the hill is shown on plate 1.
